Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has charged the newly appointed Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr Dagogo S.A. Wokoma, and Chief of Staff (CoS), Sunny Ewule, to discharge their duties with discipline, loyalty and an unwavering commitment to the success of his administration and the well-being of the people of Rivers State.
 
The governor warned that any involvement in unauthorised nocturnal meetings or conduct capable of embarrassing the government would attract immediate dismissal.
 
Fubara stressed the need for strict adherence to official protocols and transparency in the discharge of responsibilities, noting that his administration would not condone actions that undermine public trust.
 
He urged the appointees to work in synergy with other members of the executive council to ensure effective service delivery and the actualisation of his administration’s policies and programmes.
 
The governor gave the warning yesterday shortly after the new SSG and CoS were sworn in at the Executive Council Chambers of the Government House, Port Harcourt.
 
As part of the ceremony, the Chief Registrar of the State High Court, David Ihua-Maduenyi, administered the Oath of Allegiance and Oath of Office on the duo before Fubara gave his charge.
 
Addressing the appointees, the governor reminded them that their elevation to the new positions was a call to service and not a platform for political grandstanding or the pursuit of personal ambition.
 
He stressed that their foremost responsibility should be to themselves and to the people of Rivers State, stressing that their conduct must always reflect integrity, restraint and dedication to public good.
 
Speaking directly to Dr Wokoma, whom he described as an accomplished academic and mathematician, Fubara expressed confidence in his intellectual depth and capacity to deliver on the new assignment.
 
The office of the SSG, Fubara stressed, demands thoroughness, discipline and a deep sense of responsibility. He charged Wokoma to always represent the state with honour.
 
Turning to the new Chief of Staff, the governor explained that he is expected to ensure smooth administrative coordination, managing official engagements effectively and safeguarding the image of the Government House.
